I'm thinking of using one on my 300 gallon. I don't really have a Nitrate problem but they do hover at 20-30 and I like to keep it close to zero.

My dogfaced puffers beak looks to be a bit overgrown. He can still eat and open his jaw pretty wide but the he does have a bit of an overbite. He will not eat snails or anything else crunchy. Sooner or later I'm going to have to trim his beak. Has anyone ever done this before and give me some...

Is there any benefit to using a reef salt as opposed to a non reef salt for a FOWLR set up? I've been using Instant Ocean salt and I was thinking of adding Instant Ocean reef Crystals. I have low Calcium and Magnesium levels and was wondering if there is any benefit to the fish???

I've been feeding my 7-8" dogface puffer clams, shrimp, oysters and squid. I'd like to get him to munch on the larger NLS pellets. The problem is he doesn't look at these as a food source. They just fall around him...even landing on his head...but he has no interest in them. I don't think he...

I've finally added my 2-3" Huma Huma Trigger, after a 3 week quarantine period, to my 300 gallon display. He's a little weak from being in a smaller Q tank but is eating. I think he will get along quite well with my 2-3 " Niger Trigger. He's going to be a beauty...

What is the difference as far as the looks of it? I thought I had a nice growth of coralline algae but now I'm thinking it's red slime algae.

Every morning I find my puffer nesting on top of my koralia 8 powerhead. It doesn't seem to do any damage to his skin.

I'm not sure where to post this as this is not a disease problem. Somehow, my dogfaced puffers fin has been trapped inside his gill. There is no movement in the gill at all and he can only breath thru his other gill. Has anyone ever seen anything like the and have a recommendation as to what to...

I was feeding my fish with a rather large piece of squid. My trigger and puffer were taking small bites while I was holding the squid. Then, out of nowhere my Spanish hogfish came out & lunged for it pulling it from my grasp. He let it go and my puffer somehow just inhaled it with one gulp. This...

Not to sound like a idiot but here it goes. I bought this used with bulbs intact. One of my 48" coralife actinic bulbs have burnt out and I need to remove & replace it. I tried turning bulb both ways and lightly pulled on end cap to no success. Anyone know how to remove and replace bulb?

Any ideas?

Last Sunday I tested my nitrates and they were at 40-50. Since adding a protein skimmer on Tuesday, cleaning my bio media this morning and a 45 gallon water change, my nitrates have dropped to 20. The skimmer I added is a Tunze 9010. I know this is not rated for my size tank (300 gallon) but...

I have something wrong with my Blue/Green Chromis. I've had three die already in the last week and one of them had this fungus on above the eye which got bigger and bigger until the fish expired. Now I've had 2 more expire without signs of this problem and two more with it. Any idea what it...

Just wondering if I should try to get the foam to come up a bit higher in the cup? This is my first skimmer so I'm new to this. Also I'm having a micro-bubble problem. Is this skimmer known to have this issue? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlxeY-XXoPo

I've narrowed my choice for a protein skimmer. The two I'm looking at are the Tunze DOC 9010 and the Tunze DOC 9015. My tank is a 300 gallon and I know the 9010 is rated for a water volume of up to 240 gallons. Is there anyone that uses the 9010 on a 300 or larger. Anyone want to give me a good...

I'd like to get advice on a cleanup crew for a 300 gallon tank. The problem is I have a dogfaced puffer. I have 2 serphant sea stars but the puffer nips at them so the stars hide all the time in the rock work. I was thinking about 50-60 nassarius snails. I have 3 nassarius snails at the moment...
